Then again, what if they start selling "virtual" ad-spaces and forces you to pay a subscription service to block them?

No, no that would be silly...

Jailbreaking my glasses in order to install an adblocker on them because by default they automatically fill every blank space with augmented reality popups.

2000s - Learning computers so you can torrent blink 182.

2020s - Learning computers so you can run an encrypted VPN tunnel to your home server running a root-less container of a pi-hole image to filter out ads and spyware to get your glasses to be somewhat functional. Also, your watch is bricked for some reason.

I like that particular feature, but I'm sure it won't be long until they make an app to block out homeless people.
